Tom Hoge

A tie for third in the Travelers Championship lifted Tom Hoge into the top 20 of the FedEx Cup standings to qualify for Royal Troon in 2024 - and by making it through to the Tour Championship in August he secured his place at Royal Portrush.

His only victory on the PGA Tour remains the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am. The win at his 203rd attempt came at the age of 32 and saw him hold off Jordan Spieth, having started the week with a 63 that included six successive birdies.

Two weeks earlier he was runner-up to Hudson Swafford at the American Express tournament and both results meant he leapt from 115th to 39th in the world rankings.

Hoge played his first Masters in 2022, seven years after his maiden major appearance at the US Open.

He played college golf at Texas Christian University and was the joint third leading individual at the 2009 NCAA Championship.
